the guest of Ell. R. Derine, and last evening left
for Columbus, o., to visit his parents for day
or two. Mr.. Monett states that twenty-five of
their trains in local service equipped with
the steam heating appliances, the steam

represent eighty coaches in which the car stoves

earnings of this departments for the year 1857
will considerably exceed those of any year in tn Q

shown in the earnings on suburban travel,

The Tempted Children.

Philadelphia Press.
Few people imagine what trouble children
give as at this time of the year." said the head
of the detective corps in of the largest
stores in the city yesterday ''More than half
the things stolen at this time are taken by chill
dren. and they are almost as successful as the
older and professional shoplifters. They are
not exactly thieves; mean they do not do It for
the love of stealing, but they come in here to
look at the things during the holiday season,
take something. Now, only yesterday little
girl came in and stood before the doll counter
for hour Finally she picked up a doll
when I stopped her. She looked up at me, and,
with tears in her eyes. said: Don't stop me,
mister. FL get it mended.' Of course. we
wouldn't prosecute the children. but they give
us lots of trouble" and he turned away to follow
a notwithstanding woman, with big black
bag.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS

station there are dozens hanging round the
greater part of the day to catch any point
which may up in the transaction. and
none are more interested than the employees on
the road. This is shown by a number of letters
which the Journal has received, and which in
avery case exhibit a loyalty to Mr.. McKeen
giving evidence of genuine friendship. There is
